School Board Approves Data Center Processing Contract
The School Board voted 5-2 to join the South Texas Multiregional Data Processing Center, rejecting the computer department head and two members. The move commits this year to a $43,832 cost and shifts payroll, accounting, budgeting, tax, personnel, inventory, fixed assets, and cafeteria data processing to the STMRPC. Local CPA Robert Kusenberger warned his NCR 8200 system could cut costs but would keep district control and a backup. board members Reed and Calderon, plus Janice Cassillas, favored leasing NCR 8200 at about $37,790 annually for ten years, arguing long-term savings despite printout limitations and delayed in-house print capabilities.
